TL;DR: Observations reveal the presence of a small planet with a minimum mass of about 1.3 Earth masses orbiting Proxima with a period of approximately 11.2 days at a semi-major-axis distance of around 0.05 astronomical units.
Journal ArticleDOI
A stellar census in globular clusters with MUSE: The contribution of rotation to cluster dynamics studied with 200 000 stars
Sebastian Kamann,Sebastian Kamann,T. O. Husser,Stefan Dreizler,Eric Emsellem,Eric Emsellem,P. M. Weilbacher,S. Martens,Roland Bacon,M. den Brok,Benjamin Giesers,Davor Krajnović,Martin Roth,Martin Wendt,Martin Wendt,Lutz Wisotzki +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the results from a survey of 25 Galactic globular clusters with the MUSE integral-field spectrograph, which provided unique multiplex capabilities in crowded stellar fields and allowed them to acquire samples of up to 20 000 stars within the half-light radius of each cluster.
Journal ArticleDOI
A detached stellar-mass black hole candidate in the globular cluster NGC 3201
Benjamin Giesers,Stefan Dreizler,Tim-Oliver Husser,Sebastian Kamann,Sebastian Kamann,Guillem Anglada Escudé,Jarle Brinchmann,Jarle Brinchmann,C. Marcella Carollo,Martin Roth,Peter M. Weilbacher,Lutz Wisotzki +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed multiple epoch observations of NGC 3201 with the aim of constraining the binary fraction and found one curious star at the main-sequence turnoff with radial velocity variations of the order of 100 km/s, indicating the membership to a binary system with an unseen component.
Journal ArticleDOI
A stellar census in globular clusters with MUSE : Binaries in NGC 3201
Benjamin Giesers,Sebastian Kamann,Stefan Dreizler,Tim-Oliver Husser,Abbas Askar,Fabian Göttgens,Jarle Brinchmann,Jarle Brinchmann,M. Latour,Peter M. Weilbacher,Martin Wendt,Martin M. Roth +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used multi-epoch MUSE spectroscopy to study binary stars in the core of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 3201 and found that at least (57.5'±'7.9'% of blue straggler stars are in a binary system.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used multi-epoch MUSE spectroscopy to study binaries in the core of NGC 3201 and found that at least (57.5+-7.9) % of blue straggler stars (BSS) are in a binary system.
